Lordy, that seems like such a long journey. I'm glad I decided against the train. Once I left, I just wanted to be in my big queen. (bed that is) It was great spending time alone with you and feel very lucky to have met you in person. Thanks for helping me explore the seedier parts of town. Suddenly craving some more chocalicious.

@aztecan: As I type this you should be getting close to home by now, Mark

@anniebc: I hope you have a safe and speedy trip back to NZ, Jan!

Good to know you made it home safe and sound Mark, sorry about the little skin problem, hope that clears up and the irrigation system gets fixed. It was great to see you in Seattle and you are always a great roommate, a great guy! It must have felt good to walk off that train at home, but you get to see a lot of great scenery along the way, you have seen all of America practically by train the last two years. You should keep a journal on your train rides to AMG and how many miles you have logged already! We also know you had an experience with a certain US Marine on a train.

See you next year. Sorry we didn't get to hug so long Tuesday morning, you were sleeping when I left.

Hugs, Jody

Me too, Henry. But I had dinner on Tuesday with three people who were taking the California Zephyr, the name of that train, back to Chicago. I know they boarded it on Wednesday, so they were probably on board when it derailed.

I hope the weathered the experience without serious mishap. They were from Indiana, if memory serves.
